  • Only virtual security keys are used for licensing
  • The number of server connections does not depend on the license type.

Updating the Server License

Each new database copy, and, consequently, server, requires licensing. You can use a previous license for licensing.

To free a master license:

  1. Go to the licensing server and in the Orders section select the Clear licences with virtual keys

  2. Select the item and add the required software:
  3. Click Make order

Once the request is confirmed, the license will be freed and you can license a new copy of the server using your license once more.

General Licensing Procedure

  1. Get a master license
  2. Create the main local license
  3. Create additional licenses if necessary.

Create a master license request using the license system:

Obtaining Master Licenses

  1. Click Orders > New Order in the menu

  3. Click Add SW and select the required software.

    All licenses should be registered with the same object code.

  4. Click Save after selecting the software
  5. Check the input data and click Send:

  6. Wait until the licensing department confirms your request.

Creating a New License

Find the Sh5Licen.exe file in the SH5 installation folder. It is located in the \SH5lic\ folder. The file path is by default C:\UCS\StoreHouse_5\SH5lic\Sh5Licen.exe
Enter your login and password. By default the data is as follows:

  • Login — Admin
  • Password — no password

Click OK. The SH5 client will connect to the server.
Now you need to create the main local license.

  1. Go to the menu Licenses > Main license...
  2. Enter your Dealer ID and password
  3. Select the licensed object from the list. You can also find it using the Filter field where the object code should be entered.
    Click ОК.
  4. It is assumed that you already have a SH5 master license. Now you need to select it. The system will suggest creating a temporary license.
    You will see your license's expiry date in the Expiration date field.

  5. Click Create. Wait until the license is created, it will appear in the list.

    To create a local license, connect to the license server at  l.ucs.ru:60606. Make sure that the 60606 outgoing port is not blocked by the system.

    A message that there is no confirmation from the server will appear first. This is normal. If the connection to the licensing server has been established, the line will be updated in a while and will turn to green:

  6. If you see the License is valid message, everything is fine.

Creating Additional Licenses

Licensing additional enterprises is similar to licensing the main one, except for some additions.

  1. You should receive additional master licenses on the license server. They are called StoreHouse V5 additional Enterprise:
  2. In Sh5Licen.exe, go to Licenses > Additional license...

  3. Enter the dealer login and password. The system will check if you have an additional master license. If there are any, it will suggest creating local licenses:

    Important

    If you have several additional master licenses, enter the required number of newly created local licenses.

  4. Click Create
  5. Your additional license will appear on the list:
  6. If you see License is valid, everything is correct.

Licensing Several Enterprises

The number of enterprises imported from r_keeper is not limited by the license. To distribute the existing SH5 licenses between them, you should create enterprises and departments.

  1. After creating enterprises and departments in the SH5 database, launch Sdbman.exe which is located in the\Client\ folder.
    By default the file path is C:\UCS\StoreHouse_5\Client\Sdbman.exe.
  2. Enter your login and password.
  3. Go to Storehouse > Licensing objects
  4. Select one storehouse as the main one and assign the base license for it. Designate other licenses as extra ones. You can assign the base license to any enterprise. The base license should be assigned to just one enterprise.

Extending the License

To extend an existing license:

  1. On the licensing server go to Object Editing
  2. Find the line with the necessary SH5 license in the active licenses list
  3. Scroll the list to the right and copy the request code:

  4. Click New License

  5. Select the license type: license or SOS-code
  6. Insert the copied request code, specify the required data and the number of licenses. Write the comments if you wish.
  7. Click Next and wait until the license is generated
  8. Repeat the actions for all types of existing licenses, base and extra ones.

The StoreHouse license will be extended within an hour or right after rebooting the server.

Deleting the Licenses

Licenses can be deleted using the Sh5Licen.exe utility.

Please note that there is no need to delete the license to extend it. It is enough to extend an active license on the license server, as described above.

The licenses should be deleted one by one, first the extra ones and then the base one. The base license cannot be deleted while there are existing extra licenses. Otherwise, you will see the following error:

To delete a license, open Sh5Licen.exe, and log in. Select the required license using the mouse. A dotted line will appear around it, which means that this license has been selected for deleting:

Open the Licenses menu and select the Delete License item:

Once you agree with the confirmation, the license will be deleted.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with licensing, create or edit the Sh5licen.INI file in the \SH5\SH5lic folder. Specify the log level 2 in it:

LogLevel = 2

Save the file, launch Sh5licen.exe, and repeat the actions causing the problem. In the \SH5\SH5lic folder the last_ans.xml file will appear.
Create a request at the Service Desk.
Attach Sh5Licen.LOG and last_ans.xml to the request. This will make solving the issue a lot easier.
